Congratulations are in order for another celebrity couple! Actress Gabrielle Union and her basketball-playing beau Dwyane Wade have married in Miami.

The couple got engaged in December 2013, but began dating in 2009. Their relationship has been rocky at times, with the couple splitting temporarily in early 2013 due to Union's desire to focus on her career, and during time apart, Wade fathered a child with Aja Metoyer, but it looks like they're both back to being loved up!

On Monday, 30 December, Wade publicly acknowledged that he had fathered a child whilst on a break with fiancé Union

Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union may have gotten engaged just before Christmas this year, but despite whatever positivity this eventual union may convey, under the surface not everything is as rosy for the pair as it seems. The pair have been dating on and off since 2007 and during one of their off periods earlier this year, Wade hooked up with an unknown woman, with their night of passion resulting in a child for the Miami Heat guard.

There had been rumours and reports floating around for some time that implied Wade had fathered a child out of wedlock with a woman that was not Union and on Monday, 30 December, Wade finally addressed these rumours and confirmed them as true to ABC News prior to the Heat's game against the Denver Nuggets. Wade said that the child, a son, is about a month old, with his conception coming whilst he and Union were on a break from each other. Vowing to be as devoted to his new son as he is to his two other children, Zion and Zaire - both of whom are from his previous marriage to Siohvaughn Funches - the birth of his lovechild doesn't seem to have harmed his relationship with Union as much as it would be expected.
